The Sacred Bridge will be the Bible atlas of record and standard work for the coming decades. Exhaustive in scope and rich in detail, with its comprehensive documentation of the Near Eastern background to Biblical History, this Bible atlas from Carta is one more stepping stone on the way to the study and understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

This unrivaled classic brings the latest findings of biblical, historical, and archaeological research to its sweeping cartographic portrayal of biblical history. In convenient graphic form, it depicts the vast panorama of events spanning from 3000 B.C. to the end of the third century A.D.

This profusely illustrated atlas, intended for young readers, tells the full story of the Bible from Genesis to Acts. The 96 maps which illustrate such events as the wanderings of the Patriarchs and the journeys of St. Paul are enhanced by a text written by the renowned British biblical scholar, F. F. Bruce. The work is not only a useful reference for finding places mentioned in the Bible, but also a marvelously well-written summary of the key events of biblical history.

The Illustrated Bible Atlas begins with the history and culture of the ancient Near East in the second millennium B.C. and traces the successive historical/biblical events through the intertestamental period and the era of the New Testament. Helpful elements of this atlas include historical notes by F. F. Bruce, maps of modern Israel and the city of Jerusalem, detailed color maps illustrating historical events and trends, scale drawings of major sites and cities and photographs of archaeological artifacts.

The Virtual Bible provides realistic images as a tool for teaching the Bible in its historical context. Here you’ll find three-dimensional reconstructions of the land of Israel, the city of Jerusalem at the time of Herod, and the town of Capernaum at the time of Jesus. Fly through these reconstructed settings to gain a better understanding of what life was like in ancient times.

No book is better suited to the study, understanding, and development of the manmade plateau that is the focus of the world’s interest—the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Ritmeyer’s experience as architect of the Temple Mount Excavations following the Six-Day War, coupled with his exploration of parts of the mount now hardly accessible and his doctoral research into the problems of the Temple Mount make him singularly qualified for the task.

Ever wanted to visit the Holy Land? Or bring it back with you when you returned? The Virtual Tour to the Temple is a wonderful blend of two types of visual media. First is an interactive 360° tour of the Jerusalem Temple based on 100 high-resolution panoramic photos. The second is 40 short video clips of Dr. Randall Price explaining the historic meaning of each site at the site itself. The result is biblically sound, underpinned by the latest research findings, and fascinatingly beautiful.

Through the lavish use of maps, diagrams, reconstructions, and color photographs, the historical and architectural development of the Holy City unfolds before the reader. Each major period in Jerusalem's 5,000-year history is dealt with at length and instructively, with information based on the latest archaeological findings and scientific research.

Smaller and older than the above atlas. Successive maps show Jerusalem in every significant epoch from its beginnings in biblical times till today. Texts for each period present the city's history and discuss contemporary activity and landmarks. Scores of plans, drawings and photographs. Indexed map of modern Jerusalem.

Nehemiah was the great reformer who rallied the people to repair the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down in the Babylonian destruction of 586 B.C. In this book, we are first immersed in the historical background to the time of Nehemiah. Then, in an imaginative reconstruction, one of the builders of the walls (a Tekoite) leads us around the city and shows us the great work accomplished in those stirring times.

Open up the world of Jerusalem in the first century with Jerusalem in the Year 30 A.D. The combination of artistic restorations and on-site photographs transport you back almost 2,000 years. See the remains from the period preserved in and around the present-day walls of Jerusalem. Then walk the streets of the city in the time of Jesus with the minutely detailed reconstruction drawings

Comparison with table of Bible places but no images.

Here is the first-ever English translation of the ancient Greek Onomasticon by Eusebius of Caesarea, written in the early 4th century A.D. Presented in parallel with Jerome's Latin rendering of the same work, it provides an alphabetical listing of place names mentioned in the Bible and identified by the author with contemporary sites.

Many of the places mentioned in the Bible can be seen to this day. Cities like Jerusalem, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Jericho have lasted through the ages. Others like Megiddo, Hazor, and Gezer are attested to by their ruins.

Over one hundred years of scientific archaeology have provided us with greater insight into the lives and customs of the ancient peoples who inhabited the region.

This work provides a summary of biblical data centered on the lives of some of the greatest characters who walked across the pages of scripture. More importantly, this retelling of various biblical stories weaves into the narrative flow a measure of the landed reality of the ancient Near East and eastern Mediterranean worlds that helps to fill in some of the interpretive gaps that plague all readers of the text.

Understanding the Old Testament is a composite introduction to the Hebrew Bible, with illuminating texts, maps, chronologies and charts with a special section on the Hebrew alphabet and calendar. All major empires, battles and events are covered in a pleasing format.

In looking at the world of the New Testament, it is proper to speak of the geographical realities of the first-century world in which the Gospel spread. By learning about these places and the historical interconnections between them, Bible readers can enter more deeply into the pages of the Bible and the divine message that it contains. This volume is a perfect tool for doing just that.
